Humans:
Name: Kiana
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Unknown
Rank: Dragon Candidate
Physical Appearance: Kia is quite tall for a girl, though she's put together well enough that she doesn't appear gangly or anything. Standing at 5'9" she is fairly fit, but nothing too spectacular, since she spent her days designing masks. She is more weight height proportionate with mild toning. Her dark brunette hair is wavy, seeming to go a bit lighter towards the half-way point, as it reaches down to her mid-back. She has a paler complexion which makes any slight blush stand out visibly. Her eyes are a warm brown, not a dark or listless color like some browns, but a pretty brown. Her eyebrows are nice, slightly arching, and her nose is smaller, as is her mouth. She has fairly full lips, and she has a nice smile due to straight teeth. Her chest is not the largest but she still has nicely curving hips and long legs to make up for that. She wears very 'pretty' clothes since her real chosen craft is weaving, and she's a senior apprentice now.
Personality: Kiana is a very sweet, though often naive, young woman. She is generally very trusting and friendly with all, seeming to be a bright girl with a good head on her shoulders. She's empathic and caring, always ready to befriend or help someone in need, even if she can't do too much. She is not a girly sort of girl, but she does like things like clothes and Gathers, and has a natural prettiness about her and takes care of herself.
She is a bit shy around boys, as she really hasn't had much experience with them. She is more 'chaste' and modest in personality, the one who guys will see as being more 'pure' and therefor pursue, though getting no where with her. Some have speculated she prefers girls, and while she is a little curious about that herself thus far she at least appears to prefer men in that aspect. It's not something she's had a chance to explore, though, so it remains to be seen. She gets along better with girls, though, due to her being a little shyer around males. Still, she'll befriend anyone, and really seems to like children, someday she might want one of her own.
Kia loves animals and creatures of every kind and sort. She fawns over puppies and kittens, hatchlings of any kind and has a respect for life. Chances are if she didn't accept how life was, she'd end up a vegetarian! She tends to feel bad for things that have to be killed, but understands it's just how life is. She has always been fascinated with dragons, whers, and anything associated with dragons, including firelizards. She grew up with a pet canine of her own but he recently passed away and she'd have liked another pet of some kind.
She enjoys womanly things such as weaving, cooking and reading by the fireplace, appreciating that it's the simple things in life which make for the most happiness. Coming from a Hold that is rather in poverty, she doesn't mind that she has never had a lot compared to some, but makes the best out of what she has. She believes in living each day at a time, finding something to be happy about in each one. Even when things are at their worst she tries to put on a brave face and make due. She'd make someone a great wife one day, really. She is very caring, open and honest hearted. There really doesn't seem to be a bad bone in her body, and she is a little sensitive sometimes.
Kiana loves anything artistic. Be it making bead, shell or wood jewelery, or making masks that Lighttower Hold used to be famous for, or knitting and weaving...whatever sparks her creativity to design and make new things she takes a shine to. She enjoys every art form, from sculpting to painting, and really seems to have a flair for it, too! When not working at her craft of choice, she makes other artistic things to sell and make some extra marks.
Everyone has flaws, and Kia's is probably her naivety. She often doesn't catch onto certain types of jokes, and because she is so ready to do favors for others, sometimes she gets walked all over. If someone needs to do something they might push their chores on her, and she's really too nice to say no unless she really and seriously can't squeeze in the favor. She is rather naive to the approaches of men, as well, and this can be dangerous for them because while she believes everyone to generally be a good person and that everyone has good in them? This attitude makes her susceptible to those who have no good intentions. She doesn't know how to defend herself, and she is more 'girlish' in build at the moment. She may be tall, healthy and young, but if she doesn't get a bit more muscle on her and learn how to fight, she's really more someone that needs protecting, no matter that she desires to protect everyone else from harm. Really, she has a lot to learn and needs to do so to keep herself out of harm's way.
History: Kia's life was fairly normal, up until the point she left Lighttower Hold for Selenitas Weyr on a caravan after the Seige.
She was born to a regular family, the first of two children. Her younger brother was born six years after she was. Her mother is a housewife and her father works on a fishing boat, as do most people at Lighttower as it's a fishing Hold. She spent her days at home with her mother and younger brother, learning all the things it would be necessary to learn so that she could one day marry and be a housewife herself. However, at 10 Turns she decided she wanted to try and be something more, so she apprenticed into the Weaving craft, since she had already learned the basics of making and mending clothing from her mother and had a keen adeptness for it. She started in her artistic ventures since she was four Turns old and spent much of her time creating things, from inexpensive but beautiful jewelery to painting and drawing or sculpting. She actually sold these things once she hit ten Turns, and over the Turns she has been able to sell them for more as the quality improved with her experience.
Things went on rather routinely like this up until Kiana turned 16 and decided she wanted something more out of life. She wasn't sure what, but she was almost ready to walk the tables and yet something inside of her just changed. There was a caravan going to Selenitas Weyr, and she decided all on her own she was going with them, to try and stand for a dragon! No one knew what prompted the change in her. Lighttower didn't even like the Weyr they were tithed to. In fact, they hated it. So though her parents tried to get her to stay, they couldn't fathom why she wanted to go and let her go anyhow. She said she only wanted to experience it once, and wasn't herself sure why. So, she went to Selenitas with the caravan, and has been there for a while now, while awaiting the next hatching...
